Crikey!!! My day at the Australia Zoo!

So today we went to the Australia Zoo which was awesome! We had to be up at 5:45am in order to go on a 3 and a half hour train ride to get there, but it was definitely worth it! I won't write a ton about it because my pictures mainly narrate my day and what went on! Again, sorry these are probably out of order! And my picture with me holding the Koala should be on here soon!

I think these are called Echnids...which are basically oversized and more prickly versions of a porcupine


Freakin huge snake!

This is what getting up at 5:45am does to you.

Pretty birds
I volunteered because I thought they were going to have the bird fly onto my arm and they told me to hold my arms out and then all they did was make me do a stupid bird dance. I was so mad!
Dum dum...dum dum...(the Jaws theme...here comes Monty!)
Monty again
and again.
I would not want this job...
